Thunder Over Louisville

If you’re planning on bringing along the whole family, you’re in for a day full of fun and excitement. There are plenty of family friendly activities to do to keep you and your little ones entertained all day. The options are endless. There is also 100’s of food vendors to choose from!

The annual firework show is larger than the opening and closing ceremonies of the Atlanta and Barcelona Olympics combined. According to the Zambellis, it is unchallenged as the largest annual pyrotechnic production in North America.

“It’s the kind of show you have to see to believe,” says Matt Gibson, Derby Festival Sr. Vice President of Events. “We have great television coverage of the event, but unless you are there in person, you can’t FEEL the fireworks pounding in your chest and the concrete vibrate underneath your feet. Thunder is the kind of show that needs to be felt and not just seen and heard.”

Bullitt County hotels can provide many comfortable and affordable lodging options for you and your family. Bullitt County is located conveniently off of I-65 just 20 minutes outside of Downtown Louisville. Relax and recover from Thunder Over Louisville and prepare for the, two weeklong, KY Derby Festival events that are just about to begin! 04.20.2024 to 05.03.2024.
